Link between Land Use and Flood Risk Assessment in Urban Areas

Proceedings, 2020
The densification of urban areas has raised concerns over increased pluvial flooding. Flood risk in urban areas might increase under the impact of land use changes. Urbanisation involves the conversion of natural areas to impermeable areas, causing lower

Integrating Green Infrastructure Into Stormwater Policy: Reliability, Watershed Management, and Environmental Psychology as Holistic Tools for Success [PDF]

, 2020
As cities continue to expand, the issues of flood control and urban water quality have become major modern sustainability challenges. Green infrastructure—the use of nature-based solutions to target, treat, and store stormwater at its source—has emerged ...

High urban flood risk and no shelter access disproportionally impacts vulnerable communities in the USA

Communications Earth & Environment
Vulnerable communities are disproportionately placed in low-lying, flood-prone neighborhoods, with deficient infrastructure and limited access to shelter. Here we present a methodology to study the risk of urban floods in tandem with access to shelter to

Prevalence of Cam Femoroacetabular Lesions in Medieval (1200‐1600 CE) and Postmedieval (1600‐1850 CE) Dutch Skeletal Collections

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate medieval and postmedieval Dutch skeletal collections for signs of cam impingent. Methods The medieval collections from Alkmaar Paardenmarkt and Klaaskinderkerke and the postmedieval period from Middenbeemster were studied. Standard osteological methods for sex and age estimation were used. From digital photographs of the femora, the

Socio-hydrological modelling using participatory System Dynamics modelling for enhancing urban flood resilience through Blue-Green Infrastructure

Journal of Hydrology
Cities are complex systems characterised by interdependencies among infrastructural, economic, social, ecological, and human elements. Urban surface water flooding poses a significant challenge due to climate change, population growth, and ageing ...

Making it explicit – Sustained shared thinking dialogue as a way to explore children's perspectives on quality in German early childhood education and care

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract To negotiate quality in early childhood education and care, we must ask from different perspectives what constitutes a good centre for children. The children themselves have only recently been identified as a resource to contribute to that discussion.
